Can Fangames Be Good?

author=Blitzen link=topic=2946.msg57381#msg57381 date=1232566312
Speaking from my own experience, I enjoyed working on a fan game because I had a lot to work with already, and it was actually one of those "restraints provoke creativity" sorts of things.

This is actually a very good point.

Barrack has a long and distinguished political career of...running for president.

He was a state senator just like every other president :(

looking exactly the same and being skipped over because there's nothing aesthetically unique about it that stands out.

You know I would say the exact same thing about your FACE you jerk >:(

Yeah guys, the audio is . . . really really bad. There was this incredibly huge amount of background noise that I think was coming from Max's headset/room. The audio sounds a little weird and overcompressed because I had to put the audio through a truly outrageous number of filters.

Umm...didn't we check the audio like twice and you said it was fine?

Yes :(

Can Fangames Be Good?

Fangames can be good, but why bother? If you are making a good game it is more artistically sound to actually have an original concept.

A full game is great, but not many people are going to play into a full game past where a demo would normally end anyway. An epic RPG is exhausting and if people don't have patience to finish a commercial RPG they probably don't have the patience to finish an amateur one. The very nature of amateur RPG game development facilitates demos/episodic releases.

A demo/episode showcases all of the same development that a full game would. Art, music, level design, writing, gameplay - it's not like one episode of a game doesn't have these things just because the story doesn't come to a conclusion.

So there is a legitimate criticism that this game does not look very good!

However the writing is amazing and the game design is not bad. Give it a shot guys!
